SPEAKER: High-pT top tagging   (The University of Tokyo)
LANGUAGE: English
ABSTRACT: For highly boosted top quarks (pT above ~TeV), its decay products become collimated. Due to limited detector resolution commonly used jet substructure methods fail to work, whereas charged tracks still offer the possibility for efficient top tagging. I briefly review some standard top taggers and present recent development of the high-pT Top Tagger (HPTTopTagger). This algorithm is based on the charged tracks inside a large-radius jet and allows to probe new resonances in the multi-TeV range.
